I really get down on theists that others making bad claims mean we should do the same type of WW2 Germany scapegoating of entire labels. Nobody is in favor of Islamic based theocratic law. But we are also not in favor of our Christian right in the west trying to turn back the clock on human rights.
It is only western secular law that keeps the divisions to a more civil degree, not the religions themselves. There is not one religion worldwide as an umbrella label that does not have competing sub sects. The underpinnings of Christianity's former barbaric past are still based on the words in the bible.
So again, back to the OP
What does your hate for christianity have to do with giving the news media and or the government for squelching this story about the Islamic call to arms to murder gay people in the orlando area 3 weeks before the shooting occoured?
why hasn't anyone made this story public?
Are we so afraid is islam that we fear further reprisal from the 'radicalized community?' After all this will whip up the bigots into a frenzy which will trigger threats and maybe a burned koran or two.. But so what? Unless we fear this is going to 'activate' more home grown terrorists...
Which beggs the question...
How does your hate for people who oppose you lawfully have to do with looking at those who want you and people like us dead critically? Why are you shifting the blame of the ACTS of Islam to Christianity? Do you fear Islam? why then can you not condemn these acts of terror and place disgust and outrage where is should belong?
Knock it off asshole. Nobody is saying we should be "afraid" of criticizing Islam. You've been here long enough to see atheists go after the claims that both Mystic and Atlas make here.
What we are saying is you don't get a pass either. You keep failing to taking into account TIME and geography and secular law in the west.
Your holy book is just as chalk full of justifications for religious tribalism, sexism, bigotry, homophobia and violence. The west simply has had a longer time of individuals ignoring those violent stories in favor of common law.
Christianity did not make the west civil, our species evolutionary empathy allowed more people to ignore that comic book tribalism.
